2020 Endorsement of Donald J. Trump

To Our Fellow Americans,

​

The Harvard Republican Club is the nation’s oldest collegiate Republican organization, and during our history we have reaped the benefits of American freedom, values, and prosperity. Thus, we believe it is our duty to propel ideas and people that will keep American greatness aflame for future generations while grappling with our historical faults. With these principles in mind, we endorse Donald Trump in his 2020 presidential candidacy.

​

After spirited conversation, our board has concluded that President Trump upheld many of his campaign promises to unwaveringly press for the interests of all Americans. Our conservative and Republican convictions compel us to endorse candidates that will fight for an enduring moral order, protect Americans traditions, and prize careful prudence in all decisions for the betterment of Americans. President Trump has demonstrated a commitment to these ideals that surpasses his challenger former Vice President Biden. Biden’s platform and party have in many areas abandoned truth in favor of a radicalized view of relative reality. This risks injuring our entire society, with concentrated harm occurring to the most vulnerable. Contrastingly, President Trump has propelled American prosperity through a number of marquee accomplishments listed below ranging from foreign policy to tax reform. It is this track record that gives us confidence in the President’s abilities going forward.

​

Despite these achievements, we want to utilize this election to also provide our President and all our elected officials with feedback. We should not be afraid to criticize any elected official, even if they are of the same party. We celebrate the debate and growth inherent in the election process and look forward to the ideas generated by the national discourse.
